SmartCat The Ultimate 32-in Sisal Cat Scratching Post

So I bought a less costly scratching post, not as sturdy as this and it had okay reviews. My boy (16 lbs Tabby) is large and knocked the think over the few times he did attempt to use it. He really ignored it mostly, even tried a recommended idea of putting cat nip on it... no go. Should have bought this first, even has suggestions of use and training printing on the label on the bottom of the base, which is large and sturdy, It doesn't even move when he almost climbs on it. One idea I came up with was putting his mouse toys on the top, it worked right away. Oh, the other scratching post, it's in the trash.

She needed no introduction. As soon as I put it together, she went right for it. It is not only great for scratching but for stretching too! Since, I bought this, my kitty NO LONGER scratches the couch or any other furniture. She uses it first thing in the morning and throughout the day. Seems to be holding up well so far.

My last cat loved this post. It’s made well. It’s strong. It’s balanced. It will not topple over. It’s aesthetically pleasing. If you don’t attach the bottom pieces it can be placed horizontally on the floor. You can order a seat for the top so the cat can sit on top. My current cat is young and hasn’t figured out exactly how to use a scratching post but with some catnip rubbed in he goes to it and uses it, albeit infrequently.

I was doubtful when I saw this item, but needed to try anything to get my cat to leave my couches alone with his claws. He LOVES it! I put it next to the couch and every time he goes by he will rub or scratch on this post. I have not seen him once chose the couch since we have gotten this. Truly a furniture saver!

I bought this when I adopted Atticus 2 years ago. Since then I adopted a second cat, Clarice, one year later. This scratching post is the best item I've ever purchased for my fur babies. They love it and it's built to last. It's tall enough for big stretches looks great. I highly recommend this scratching post for anyone in the market for a scratching post that is sleek and sturdy.

This post stands up to my 16+ lb. fat cat. We keep it in the living room and it's nice looking. Our boy is on his second one and the only reason we replaced it was because it was over 6 years old and it was time for a new one (according to me). Our boy uses his several times a day and loves it.

My cats don't scratch it : / I chose this because it looks sleek. I still think it looks great, the design is nice and the wood aesthetic is good looking. The whole thing is sturdy, but the scratching material is too plastic. The scratching material is not really the best. Maybe your cats will love it, but in my review the material is not the best for their nails. Their nails get stuck in the material. This is more of a hard plastic than a yarn. This is the issue for two of my cast, so not just one. its a bummer because I purchased two products from this manufacturer. I really liked the design and think this product is so close to being purrrrfec, but right now it currently sits untouched. I'd My cats don't scratch it : / I chose this because it looks sleek.

My fur babies absolutely LOVE this scratching post! I rubbed catnip on it when I got it and they were all over it!! No more furniture scratching. And I have a big (chubby) cat who even perches on top. It is sturdy and stable. Well-constructed. Have recommended it to multiple cat-owner friends!

I bought this for my bobcat at my parents’ house. He sharpens his claws routinely throughout the day so his scratchers get a lot of use and he is very rough on them. With regular scratching posts he always shreds them within a few days, even hours, and then he makes do with a subpar scratching post until we’re able to come up with our next idea. We are very impressed and so is he. It’s been about 6 months now and it still looks brand new.

I have two bombay babies and I was struggling to find a scratching post tall enough for them to get a good stretch. This is the tallest free standing post I could find on the market and all three children absolutely love it! It gives a decent stretch while sharpening the talons, my babies have even started to play with each other on and around the post. 3/3 Paws “It’s the purrfect height for purrching to judge the peasants below.” -Minerva “I don’t get to sit on my bum if I want to reach the top!” -Ghost
